- See if you can do anything with that, he said. - I suppose you got five, Dilly said. Give me more than that. - Wait awhile, Mr Dedalus said threateningly. You're like the rest of them, are you?

St. James's Gate is the Guinness brewery, leased in 1759 by Arthur Guinness for 9,000 years at £45 per year. It became the largest brewery in Ireland in 1838, and was the largest in the world in 1914. During the 19c. and early 20c., Guinness owned most of the buildings in the surrounding area, including many streets of offices, or housing for employees. The brewery had its own power plant. Although no longer the largest brewery overall, it still is the largest brewery of stout in the world. |
